A Florida sheriff's deputy named Brandi Tenlen resigned from her position after an investigation exposed her raunchy online foot fetish account, where she sold sexually explicit content while wearing her uniform. Tenlen had made $6,000 in 16 months through her side-hustle on the adult content site FeetFinder.com, publishing inappropriate and pornographic footage of herself and performing sexual acts in exchange for money.

Why it matters

This case highlights the growing issue of law enforcement officers engaging in inappropriate off-duty conduct, particularly the use of official uniforms and equipment for personal financial gain. It raises questions about oversight, accountability, and the need for clear policies governing outside employment and social media use by public servants.

The details

According to the internal investigation, Tenlen recorded content for her FeetFinder.com account while wearing her 'PBSO Class B' uniform. She even showed videos to coworkers, including one where she was wearing a karate uniform and kicking an unidentified man in the genitals. Tenlen allegedly didn't hide her account, openly discussing it with colleagues and displaying photos of her feet with a unique tattoo design. The sheriff's office was tipped off by another deputy who claimed Tenlen had also been paid to meet a man at a hotel to massage his genitals.

• In July 2025, the sheriff's office launched an investigation into Tenlen's online activities.
• Tenlen allegedly called out sick for two days after her vacation was denied, using the time to meet with a subscriber who had traveled from Canada to film content with her.
